Pros

Stress free work environment, cafeteria's really good, good temperature control, no one really talked with each other, great benefits for entry level job. So bored I planned my next steps to move into a different career. Management was all super nice. Great starter and am happy for it showing me what I didn't want to do.

Cons

Boring work, tried to look busy a lot, watching clock tick, no one really talked to each other, redundant tasks, waiting to be mostly automated. Basically cleaning terrible data. A few weirdos but they keep it interesting. Olathe might be one of the most dull towns in the US. Too bad they couldn't have been just a few miles north closer to Kansas City.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
